Holstein Apple Scionwood

Fall. Cox’s Orange Pippin × unknown. Discovered in Euitin, Holstein, Germany, 1918, and introduced in 1950, to become one of the most popular apple varieties in Germany.

Very attractive deep yellow fruit is blushed and streaked with reddish-orange, with a russeted stem cavity. Larger than its parent Cox, round ovate with flat shoulders and a funny slant to one side. Creamy yellow flesh is firm, juicy and aromatic with a balance of sweet and tart, and tropical hints. Great for dessert. Holds its shape in pies and presses into a pleasant orange-colored juice. Some disease resistance. Triploid: will not pollinate other varieties. Blooms midseason. Z4.

Additional Information

Scionwood

Scions are twigs, not trees. They have no roots and will not grow if you plant them.

The deadline for ordering scionwood is February 21, 2025, for shipment around March 11. (Please note: we ship scionwood only in mid-March. If you would like to order rootstock to arrive in the same shipment, select mid-March shipping when adding the rootstock to your cart.)

We sell scionwood in two ways:

By the stick: One 8" stick will graft 3 or 4 trees.
By the foot: For orchardists grafting large numbers of trees of a particular variety, we also offer scionwood by the foot (minimum order of 10 feet per variety). In our own nursery work, we are usually able to graft 6-8 trees from one foot of scionwood.

You can graft right away or store scionwood for later use. It will keep quite well for several weeks stored in sealed ziplock bags in the refrigerator.
